About Jarrow to London 2011

Youth Fight for Jobs, a campaigning organisation, is marching from Jarrow to London, starting on 1 October 2011. This is on the 75 anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade, when 200 unemployed workers took a similar route to raise awareness of mass unemployment.
Today, as employment and youth unemployment soars, the ConDem coalition axing jobs and services, this new campaign is absolutely vital.
To make it all happen, we are working with the trade union movement and activists to raise £26,000 and organise demonstrations, rallys and protests in every town, city and area that the march visits.
